Lake Reschen – Verona
Light-footed pedalling downhill to the south.
Whether spring, summer, or autumn, the southern slopes of the Alps are worth a visit by bike from the time
of the first blossoms to harvest time. Regardless of whether you love nature or culture, this tour has to offer
just the right thing for everyone! The castles along the way and the great culture in the different towns will
inspire those who are interested. Just as the orchards and vineyards, the magnificent mountain panoramas,
the fresh air and the unspoiled nature along the beautifully landscaped paths make every cyclist’s heart leap
for joy. You will cycle on a bike path with 1,500 metres of descent from the Alps to Lake Garda and then
further on to Verona!
Characteristics of the route

You will ride on beautiful bike paths mainly along the Adige River. The route will lead you from Reschenpass

Unfortunately, moderate traffic is unavoidable on some short connecting roads.
